How many people you think are on anxiety or ADD meds?

It is odd, your parents were right.

Most in the medical field have come to the conclusion that long-term use of anxiety meds are ineffective, especially as a sleep aid.

I think A WHOLE LOT of young mothers are on it. The doctors prescribed them zoloft like it's SOP after a baby. Had

It's a crutch for fat, pathetic, unmanly betas. We live in a society where everything anyone could ever want is right at our fingertips and people still bitch. They need chemicals to help them cope. Men from the 1940s would call them an embarrassment.

I went through some work stuff, family stuff and my mother died two years ago (it was long and drawn out).

My Dr could see I was stressing and put me on Welbutrin, I actually like it and think I had some undiagnosed condition it fixed.

Technically, I'm on anti-depressants and will be from here on out, but it's a low dose for chronic migraines. 25 mg for me compared to 150 mg for actual anti-depression doses. I'd have killed myself without the medication. Not even joking. 20+ migraines a month will make life not worth living.

A crap load of people medicate everyday

I, for one, have a psych doc that prescribes me meds at the VA and a social worker that i see for counseling once a week.

I’m walking around her like a mutha freaking looney tune listening to the voices in my head and talking to my friends that only i can see.

So when i say im gonna burn this mutha fricker down, there may not be a big chance of it happening, but there is absolutely a chance it can happen.

We are the most heavily medicated society in history.

We are also the dumbest.

That's why everyone was so freely willing to strap on chin diapers, stay away from grandma, walk 6 feet away from everyone, and inject a bullshite vaccine into their system followed by boosters. The doctors told us "here, do all this dumb shite because we are experts. We definitely aren't making a fortune off of it" and everyone obliged.

PSA: don't forget your annual flu shots, kids!

I’ve never taken either, but am always amazed how weak the majority of Americans are everytime a conversation come up about drug use.

That's the key! Ex-wife made fun of me because I asked for her requests to be written, or put on the shared shopping list, not yelled at me while I was walking out the door, etc. Do you want your shite or not? Writing stuff down (putting dentist appointments on the calendar before I walk out the door, using Trello, etc.) help a great deal. She made great fun of my "systems" and called me weak for needing them. The same way my ex-MIL refused to give my ex FIL the blood pressure meds he was given at 60+, because that was soft, she could fix it by adding blueberries to his diet or some shite.

Now I'm so f@*%ing bored because things move soooo slowly it drives me nuts. So I set my alarm for 0415 and hit the gym, so I can feel like I've had a productive day, even when the eight hours I waste at work will consist of sending one email and attending one phone call.

Anxious women are a pox upon our society, and the medication amongst the surburban moms, teachers, etc., clearly isn't helping long term. I didn't realize so many guys (at least in OPs job) were on them too.
